Members & Affiliates

The CCCU is an association of nonprofit Christian colleges and universities offering baccalaureate programs in the arts and sciences and professional studies from a biblical worldview. Many of our members and affiliates offer master and doctoral degrees in a variety of disciplines.

A member institution meets five requirements: 1) It is a nonprofit, North American institution with non-probationary regional accreditation (or the Canadian equivalent) that offers comprehensive undergraduate curricula rooted in the arts and sciences; 2) It has a Christian mission statement and integrates Biblical faith into its educational programs; 3) It has an institutional policy and practice to hire only persons who profess faith in Jesus Christ as full-time faculty members and administrators; 4) It is committed to advancing the cause of Christian higher education and is supportive of other Christian colleges and universities; and 5) It operates under the standards of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.

Affiliate members are North American institutions that have Christian missions but do not reflect all characteristics necessary for full membership.

Theological affiliates are accredited seminaries and Bible schools in North America that meet requirements 2-5.

International affiliates are institutions outside of North America that are focused on Christian undergraduate education in the liberal arts tradition.
